We can CREATE the type of society we want if we STOP pretending we've EVER lived in a good one to date.

RMiddleton,

@StillIRise1963 Another perfect gem from you! 🙌🏻

RMiddleton,

@StillIRise1963 2 GOOD things that this framing unlocks: EMPATHY and AGENCY.

Empathy to realize that there were people suffering even in the so-called “good times” that many long for (unless we study vastly different societies from our own). And that their suffering was not accidental or incidental but systemic & intentional.

Agency to realize that there wasn’t a mythical golden age that was lost. Democratic society was always hard work & still is. It’s all up to us.

Fast Company reviews 6 Twitter replacements, and author @harrymccracken calls Mastodon the "heir apparent".

He says the Mastodon crowd is "friendly and engaged".

And he observes that Mastodon has higher interaction even with lower follower counts.

RMiddleton,

@atomicpoet Shared this morning with my Instagram followers. It’s a fine line, wanting to lure people over while not being a broken record. I talk about a lot on platforms. It may be 1/3 to 1/2 of what I share there 😬 I dunno. I don’t care if I drive away followers really & I’m an artist. I’ve always shared a mix of my images, ideas, & journey. Choosing to spend time on the instead of & is part of that.

I’m on ice cubes app for iPhone without ability to scan text. Will replace this description ASAP.

How many active accounts do you have/manage in the fediverse?

(Feel free to leave a comment with more details on which networks you're on, and how you use them.)

RMiddleton,

@stefan I have 5 but want MORE! Spending most of my time on Mastodon or Calckey. I made a bot to toot out all of Gertrude Stein’s Tender Buttons. (@TenderButtons only has 5 followers so I’m still hoping there are other weirdos like me who enjoy random, really random poetry in their feeds.) I started a Pixelfed account that I’m still becoming acclimated to. AND I have a specific writing project that I’m putting on WriteFreely. Still want to learn PeerTube.
